Razor: RR Mamba original
Blade: Gillette Minora
Brush: RR Plissoft Monster
Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing DiVino
Aftershave: Tcheon Fung Sing Bob Stone

My water never got hot. The razor didn't seem to want to cut, so I kept becoming inadvertently more aggressive. Led to a nasty shave. face feels good now. The Bob Stone gave a nice sting to wrap it up. I need to go back to a baseline razor that isn't finnicky. Maybe my RR MJ90 or a baby Smooth.
